ABSTRACT

3,7-Diazabicyclo 3.3!nonanes and selected derivatives thereof of the general formula: ##STR1## wherein Q=S; Z=CH 2  ; and Y equals an N-acyl or N-alkyl group are disclosed as multiclass antiarrhythmic agents.

This is a divisional application of prior co-pending application, Ser. No. 08/144,639, filed Oct. 28, 1993, U.S. Pat. No. 5,468,858 entitled "Novel N-Alkyl and N-Acyl Derivatives of 3,7-diazabicyclo- 3.3.1!nonanes and Selected Salts Thereof as Multi-Class Antiarrhythmic Agents".

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

This invention relates to antiarrhythmic compositions. Specifically, this invention relates to certain members of the family of 3,7-diazabicyclo 3.3.1!nonanes and highly selected derivatives thereof.

2. Description of the prior Art

3-Azabicyclo 3.3.1!nonanes (3-ABN), 3,7-diazabicyclo 3.3.1!nonanes (3,7-DBCN), and certain derivatives thereof are known and have been documented in the literature in two reviews. These reviews are: (a) Chemical Reviews, Volume 81, No. 2, pages 149-174 (1981), entitled "Chemistry of 3-Azabicyclo 3.3.1l!nonanes" by R. Jeyaraman and S. Avila and (b) Topics in Stereochemistry, Volume 20, E. L. Eliel and S. H. Wilen, Eds., Interscience-Wiley, Publishers, New York, Chapter entitled "Conformational Analysis of Bicyclo 3.3.1!nonanes and Their Hetero Analogs" by N. S. Zefirov and V. A. Palyulin, 1990. These reviews cover synthesis, reactions and certain aspects of the stereochemistry of such systems. These reviews also acknowledge that there is resemblance of the title compounds to aza and diazaadamantanes in conformation and stereochemistry and that such systems have been obtained by Mannich reactions involving the condensations of certain ketones with a primary amine.

According to the chemical literature, some derivatives of 3-ABN and 3,7-DBCN have exhibited useful biological properties including analgesic, antiangina, antitussive, antipyretic, and antiarrhythmic agent (AAA) activity. In U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,581,361; 4,778,892; 4,910,311; 4,980,468; 5,043,445; 5,084,572; and 5,110,933, for example, such materials are disclosed and claimed as antiarrhythmic agents.

The potential use of multi-class action antiarrhythmic agents classification of action of antiarrhythmic agents has been made; see E. M. Vaughn Williams, "A Classification of Antiarrhythmic Drugs Reassessed After a Decade of New Drugs", Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, Volume 24, pages 129-147 (1984)! is now recognized. The few agents with some multi-class action have also been reviewed in "Cardiovascular Drugs", James A. Bristol, Ed., Wiley-Interscience Publishers, New York, 1986; chapter 2 entitled "Screening Methods and Test Models for Evaluation of Cardioactive Drugs", by Robert J. Lee, Richard J. Gorczynski, and Robert D. E. Reynolds. See also chapter 7 in this reference entitled "Antiarrhythmic Agents" which is authored by Johannes Hartenstein and Bernd Wagner.

Specifically, this invention is related to the above derivatives of 3,7-DBCN 1-46! and precursors 47-100,108-112! thereof for controlling life-threatening arrhythmias associated with the "sudden death syndrome" with individuals who experience heart attacks caused by coronary heart disease. The objective of the present invention is to provide useful compositions that display multi-class antiarrhythmic agent (AAA) activity. Fulfillment of this object and the presence and fulfillment of other objects will be apparent upon complete reading of the specifications and claims herein. The novelty of the invention lies in the the non-predictable, multi-class AAA activity induced by very special substituents in the compositions.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

The chemical compositions according to the preferred embodiments of this invention are heteronuclear ring organic compounds based on 3,7-diheterabicyclo 3.3.1!nonanes with the general structures as follows: ##STR62##

Most structures contain nitrogen at the 3,7-positions (1-34 and 47-81), but structures 35-46 and 82-93 contain sulfur (S) at the 7-position. Substituents at the 3-position (Y) vary with N-acyl groups 1-5, 12, 14, 16, 17, 20-24, 27-29, 35, 36, 39-41, 50-54, 60, 62-64, 67-71, 74.76, 82, 83, 86-88, 94-100,108,109! and N-alkyl groups 6-11, 13, 15, 18, 19, 25, 26, 30-34, 37, 38, 42-49, 55-59, 61, 65, 66, 72, 73, 77-81, 84, 85, 89-93, 110-112). Substituents (Q) at the 7-position are either N-isopropyl, N-cyclopropylmethyl, N-benzyl or S. Salts HX=hydroperchlorate, HCl, HBr, H₂ SO₄, citrate, fumarate and maleatel! are included. It is not intuitively obvious that the substituents described would elicit such remarkable multi-class AAA, and thus the agents described are novel. The bridging group (Z) is CH₂ group except for 11 and 15 in which a 9,9-(1,3-dithian-2-yl) group is present at the 9-position or in intermediates 47-49 where a carbonyl C═O! group is present.

These compounds are the active ingredients for potential agents and/or intermediates for the active components of potential agents for the treatment of life-threatening rhythm disorders of the heart. They exhibit antiarrhythmic activity in animal models and are therefore viable candidates for the treatment of such disorders in humans who experience sudden heart attacks or major infarctions of the heart.

In the Cardiac Arrhythmia Suppression Trial (CAST) "The Cardiac Arrhythmia Suppression Trial Investigators, Preliminary Report: Effect of Encainide and Flecainide on Mortality in Randomized Trial of Arrhythmia Suppression After Myocardial Infarction" in the New England Journal of Medicine, Volume 321, pages 406-412 (1989). See also "Mortality and Morbidity in Patients-Receiving Encainide, Flecainide, or Placebo-The Cardiac Arrhythmia Suppression Trials" in the New England Journal of Medicine, Volume 324, pages 781-788 (1991), by D. S. Echt, M D. Liebson, L. B. Mitchell, et. al. See also "CAST: Implications for Drug Development" in Clinical Pharmacology Therapy", Volume 47, pages 553-556 (1990) by R. L. Woosley!, it was reported that the proarrhythmic effects of antiarrhydmijc agents were responsible for inducing a statistically significant higher incidence of sudden cardiac death than the mortality rate of those patients taking a placebo agent see also E. M. Vaughn-Williams "Significance of Classifying Antiarrhythmic Actions Since the Cardiac Arrhythmia Suppression Trial (CAST)" Journal of Clinical Pharmnacology, Volume 31, pages 123-1356 (1991); P. J. Podrid and R. I. Fogel, "Aggravation of Arrhythmia by Antiarrhythmic Drugs, and the Important Role Underlying Ischemia". American Journal of Cardiology, Volume 70, pages 100-102 (1992), H. L. Greene, D. M. Roden, R. J. Katz, R. L. Woosley, D. M. Salerno, R. W. Henthorn, and the CAST Investigators, "The Cardiac Arrhythmia Suppression Trial: First CAST . . . Then CAST-II" in the Journal of American College of Cardiology, Volume 19, pages 894-898 (1992)!. Members of the DBCN family members described herein this document do not commonly show significant proarrhythmic effects but do reduce rates of or abolish induced arrhythmias in animal models. Moreover, the commonly used agents in the CAST study depressed myocardial contractile function whereas the members of DBCN described in this document have been shown to increase mean blood pressure. Cardiac mechanical depression may excaberate the risk of sudden death, particularly in patients with preexisting coronary heart disease.

Representative reaction schemes are provided to illustrate the general methodology utilized in preparing the compounds to be claimed. Typical procedures using common reagents as for the required key precursors of systems 47 and 48 have been expressed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,084,572. However, modifications have been necessary and these are delineated in this document. For example, and as outlined in Reaction Scheme A, the synthesis of the bicyclic ketones 47 and 48 originate from a Mannich or Mannich-type condensation starting from 4-isopropyl1piperidinone (101) or 1-benzyl4-piperidinone (102). Ketones 101 and 102 reacted with isopropylamine or cyclopropylmethylamine and paraformaldehyde in the presence of acetic acid/hydrochloric acid/methanol to yield 47 and 48, respectively. The conditions are critical for good results. In addition, ketone 101 was allowed to react with benzylamine under similar conditions to give bicyclic system 103 (3-isopropyl-7-benzyl-3,7-diazabicyclo 3.3.1!no-nan-9-one). Reduction of bicyclic ketone 47 was effected with hydrazine in triethylene glycol/KOH media to generate 59 which was converted to its hydroperchlorate 10. In similar fashion, removal of the carbonyl oxygen atom in 103 was accomplished to give 104 {3-isopropyl-7-benzyl-3,7-diazabicyclo- 3.3.1!nonane}as illustrated. Generation of an intermediate thioketal from 47 followed standard ##STR63## procedures, but only salt 11 was isolated. The same procedure used to obtain 47, 48 and 103 can be used to obtain 49.

Diamine 104 is a key intermediate for the preparation of 1-9 and intermediates 50-58. Debenzylation of 104 is initiated as shown in Reaction Scheme B utilizing ammonium formate in the presence of palladium-on-carbon to yield 105. Aroylation of 105 with 4-O₂ NC₆ H₄ C(O)Cl or 4-F--C₆ H₄ C(O)Cl as ##STR64## shown led to amides 50 and 53, respectively. Conversion of the nitro group in 50 to an amino group was done with TiCl₃ /AcOH to yield 51 which, in turn, was N-sulfonated with mesyl chloride to give 52. Addition of perchloric acid to this amide gave salt 3. Treatment of 53 with imidazole in the presence of K₂ CO₃ /18-crown-6 ether proceeded smoothly, and the intermediate 54 was converted directly to salt 5.

In Reaction Scheme C, bicyclic ketone 48 was reduced under the same conditions as described above to yield diamine 61. Formation of the salt 13 followed easily from 61. Conversion of ketone 48 to the intermediate thioketal was facile, and the latter was then converted to salt 15. Debenzylation of 61 was achieved as shown to yield key intermediate 106 which was used at once. Aroylation of 106 with benzoyl chloride or 4-ClC₆ H₄ C(O)Cl led to 60 and 62, respectively. Conversion of 60 and 62 to salts 12 and 14, respectively, followed in standard fashion. ##STR65##

Alkylation of intermediate 105 with 4-fluorophenacyl chloride (107) gave 55 which was converted to salt 6 in the usual manner or with imidazole/K₂ CO₃ to 56 as shown in Reaction Scheme D. Treatment of 56 with HClO₄ led to salt 7. Reduction of 56 with sodium borohydride gave diamine 57 which was converted to salt 8. ##STR66##

BIOLOGICAL RESULTS

To illustrate the useful biological properties of the compounds described in this invention, selected derivatives were screened for antiarrhythmic agent (AAA) activity using dog models. A a standard for comparison purposes, we tested the DHBN members described herein against a commonly used antiarrhythmic agent, lidocaine, as well as against 7-benzyl-3-thia-7-azabicyclo 3.3.1!nonane hydroperchlorate (114) U.S. Pat. No. 4,581,361!, and 7-benzyl-3-thia-7-azabicyclo 3.3.1!nonane hydrochloride (113). The results summarized in the Table below show the range of antiarrhythmic activites observed. It should be emphasized that the members of the DBCN have a minimal of proarrhythmic activity which enhances their potential utility.
